string eval is already flagged as dangerous spot and "use" too

I missed the mention of string eval. As for the use re 'eval';, it's not prevented by preventing the use of use as I suspect you can achieve the same effect without actually using use.

The new thing here is substitution with two "e"-s:

It's really just another way of writing a string eval. 

s/.../.../ee

[download]
is the same as 
s/.../eval "..."/e

[download]

(without making '"' special).

Do I understand correctly that a single e after the substitution would only be dangerous if the code inside is dangerous

If you consider $1 safe in code, then s/.../$1/e is safe too.
